Blanchett has had a busy year in 2018. The Stanley Kubrick honoree headed the Cannes Film Festival jury, starred on the big screen in female-heist caper “Ocean’s 8,” as well as, “The House With a Clock in the Walls,” and made her Broadway debut in Chekhov’s “The Present,” for which she won a Tony nomination.

This is Not a figment of Truman Burbank's imagination ... the house where Jim Carrey filmed "The Truman Show" was smack in the path of Hurricane Michael's 155 mph winds, but somehow dodged disaster. Exteriors for the 1998 flick were shot at this home in Seaside, Fl and, despite the approaching category 4 storm, the owners tell us they did very little to protect the house. They trusted the fact it's sitting on a solid foundation, and hoped for the best.

Carrey will receive the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy, while Clarke will receive the Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year. The trophies will be presented at ceremonies on Oct. 26 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“Jim and Emilia are without question two incredibly inspiring and remarkable talents and we are delighted to be honoring them at this year’s ceremony,” said BAFTA Los Angeles chairman Kieran Breen. “Jim is a legend in the industry, bringing joy and laugher to audiences around the world through his unique award-winning performances. Emilia is a force to be reckoned with and has brought us one of the most beloved female characters in TV history.”

There is a depth of exploration and intellectual curiosity which frames Showtime’s Kidding which underpins, asks questions and challenges what audiences should expect from their dramatic television. Manipulation of identity for personal and corporate gain exist alongside heartfelt deviations into notions of gender identity, sexual attraction and issues of religion. What is laid over the top of these themes, notions, ideas and concepts serves to distract but entertain.

Similar in part to Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy or The Simpsons, Jeff Pickles and his innocent brand of televisual learning are more than mere leading man sleight of hand. Carrey, Keener, Langella and Greer are all in on the joke which hides in plain sight. Pitching an audience heart breaking family drama and off kilter moments of existential humour alongside debates on our reincarnation as cucumbers is brave. Thankfully working in conjunction

According to Deadline, the story for Free Guy is in the “vein of The Truman Show, where a bank teller stuck in his routine discovers he’s a background character in a rather brutal open world, action-adventure video game and he is the only one capable of saving his world.”

I like that concept and it sounds like it could be fun! With the talent that they have on board to bring the story to life, this could be a good and entertaining movie.

We all better get used to seeing Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds. The actor has several major roles lined up for the big screen, including a return as Deadpool in the Marvel film X-Force. Reynolds can also be seen in the upcoming sequel The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, and will even be lending his voice to Pikachu himself in the Pokemon movie Detective Pikachu. Needless to say, it's a diverse set of roles, but the actor is keeping busy by adding yet another intriguing film to his schedule.

Whenever a comedian takes on a dramatic role, critics and audiences alike react one of two ways: they either reject the performance outright for being anything but what the comic is famous for being, or they celebrate it like they’ve just seen a bear doing a card trick. Bill Murray’s turn in The Razor’s Edge? Rejected. Jim Carrey’s performance in The Truman Show? Bear doing a card trick. Comedians are so boxed in to being funny that we either won’t let them out of the box or we fall all over ourselves when they demonstrate the ability to do more than one thing.

Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has no shortage of projects, thanks to his acclaimed, financially fulfilling comeback as Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth. Interestingly, the latest addition to Reynolds’s backlog, a comedy called Free Guy, will purportedly utilize the artificial-world trope of The Truman Show with a dash of tonal dust from the Grand Theft Auto games.

Ryan Reynolds is set to headline 20th Century Fox comedic actioner Free Guy, as trades report. Reynolds will play a bank teller living a humdrum routine life, only to learn that he is, in actuality, a background character in a violent open world video game; a world that is somehow in jeopardy and can only be saved by him.

Free Guy, acquired as a Matt Lieberman spec in 2016, is in the vein of The Truman Show, where a bank teller stuck in his routine discovers he’s a background character in a rather brutal open world, action-adventure video game and he is the only one capable of saving his world.

After missing the cut in the Drama Supporting Actor category last year, Ed Harris made the leap to Best Drama Actor and scored a deserved Emmy nomination for his performance as William on HBO’s “Westworld.” This is his third Emmy nomination after previous bids for the miniseries “Empire Falls” and “Game Change.” The actor is also a four-time Academy Award nominee thanks to his roles in “Apollo 13,” “The Truman Show,” “Pollock” and “The Hours.” He has submitted the episode “Vanishing Point” for Emmy consideration.

In “Vanishing Point,” William remembers a time when his wife Juliet (Sela Ward) was still alive. Juliet must be taken home after drinking too much at a party, and their daughter Emily (Katja Herbers) suggests that she return to rehab. As William tucks his wife into bed, she asks him to stop lying and tell her “one true thing.” He admits there is some type of “stain” within him,

For a show that can be described as a dark, screwy take on the legacy of Fred Rogers, “Kidding” makes a deliberate effort to escape the legacy of the man with infinite cardigans and good cheer.

“I certainly didn’t want Jim to approach the role thinking of Mr. Rogers like the original man,” director Michel Gondry said. “I really didn’t want that. It’s not the story of Mr. Rogers. It’s much more. I mean, I don’t know much about Mr. Rogers, but we tried to get away as much as possible.”

The inspiration is undeniable. Jim Carrey plays Jeff Piccirillo, aka “Mr. Pickles,” the host of a wildly popular children’s show who’s also dealing with the disintegration of his real life behind the scenes, a concept concocted by creator/showrunner David Holstein.

Update with video Jim Carrey wore a new pair of Nike sneakers and Bill Maher implored Al Franken to rejoin the political game, as HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher capped yet another very bad week for President Donald Trump.

“Check this out,” Carrey said, joining the episode as the mid-point guest and propping his sneakered feet on Maher’s desk. “I went out today and bought me some Nikes, some freedom-friendly Nikes – a salute to Colin Kaepernick, to Nike. Congratulations…”

Showtime’s Kidding star was referring, of course, to the Trump-infuriating Nike commercial spotlighting Kaepernick with the ad copy: “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”

After some reminiscing about their early comedy club days, Carrey and Maher jumped from The Truman Show to a real-life generation of children “growing up right now,” as Carrey said, “who are learning to lie, that lying is okay, that it’s fake news,

In the world of sad clowns, there are the ones who hide how much they’re crying on the inside, because they want to give the people what they want. And then there are the ones who let their inner darkness out as early and often as possible.

Jim Carrey belongs to the latter group. He rose to TV fame playing comic grotesques like burn victim Fire Marshal Bill and steroid abuser Vera de Miloon on In Living Color, then became a movie sensation with the 1994 trifecta of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,

So, the VMAs happened on Monday night, and I'm still trying to figure out if it was a real show or if MTV was punking me for part of it . . . and I'm not the only one. There were so many crazy moments that went down, and to be fair, it wasn't all a hot mess. We saw some stellar performances - including Logic's "One Day" featuring Ryan Tedder and Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman" - but they sadly didn't cancel out those bewilderingly awkward moments that left me wondering if we were all in a The Truman Show situation. Read on for the standout moments that really, truly happened on live TV.

The malicious mind games of Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) will return in the second season of Mr. Mercedes, along with perhaps the only man capable of stopping him, Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson). Based on the "Bill Hodges" trilogy by Stephen King, Mr. Mercedes Season 2 premieres on the At&T Audience Network on Wednesday, August 22nd, and we have a look at a new behind-the-scenes video that explores the deadly dynamic between Hartsfield and Hodges:

"The series picks up a year after Brady Hartsfield’s thwarted attempt to perpetrate a second mass murder in the community of Bridgton, Ohio. Since the incident, Hartsfield has been hospitalized in a vegetative state. Retired Detective Bill Hodges has done his best to move on from his Brady obsession, teaming up with Holly Gibney to open Finders Keepers, a private investigative agency. But when unexplainable occurrences begin to affect hospital staff members attending to Brady, Hodges

Jim Carrey is slamming President Donald Trump‘s Space Force proposal with a new painting he shared on Twitter.

The Kidding actor, 56, shared the portrait on Friday night, tweeting, “Has your Presidency jumped the shark? Better call Space Force! To stupidity and beyond!!!” along with a link to help people get registered to vote.

The painting depicts Trump, 72, in a spacesuit alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since the start of the year, Carrey has been sharing his cartoons — that frequently take aim at Trump and his administration — on social media.

William H. Macy received his fifth Emmy nomination in 2018 for playing Frank Gallagher, the outright horrible father of the Gallagher clan on “Shameless.” In total Macy has received a whopping 14 Emmy nominations for his work as an actor, writer, and producer. He won for two of those nominations back in 2003 for his acting and writing the TV movie “Door to Door.” While he has yet to take home an Emmy for “Shameless,” he has won the Screen Actors Guild Award three times. But it’s his film career for the focus of our photo gallery above, so take a tour of Macy’s 15 greatest movies, ranked from worst to best.

Macy had a long career on the stage and in episodic television and film, seemingly destined to be one of those actors who works steadily but never really becomes a household name. That changed in the mid-1990s. After appearing
